Re: Can I change the restriction on "username" without breaking anything?

Thanks. Sorry. I have got to stop posting when I'm tired...

For punishment, I read the Wikipedia article on the "@" character:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/@

No, I did not do a google search because I ass-umed the truly relevant
info would be in this list. really.

The first Google hit is a Django snippet, and while the solution might
not be global like I want it does point out a potential problem. In
that there already is an e-mail field and having duplicate data in the
two fields could break some applications.

Which makes me wonder if the "right" way is to use a custom user
validation system, likely with the e-mail field dropped, or maybe just
aliased to the username so things that expect e-mail address find one.
